8 lbs max... check with the shop before install just to make sure, any higher and you will definately have to check into fuel delivery and beefing up the lower end. I'd say just under 200hp, if you go with an intercooler,bov, and a ball-bearing turbo... I'd say about 230ish. Power-to-weight your ride would fly! at least low 13's

WOW! i like the sound of that.... the ball bearing turbos are more expensive right? i deffinatly plan on runing a intercooler and bov... how much more do the ball bering upgrades usually run...it seems there worth the extra dough...ill probably get the moter and tranny in the next couple of months and hope to turbo it within the year...i cant wait now...low 13's thats great...put the magnaflow exaust and the header(dont know what brand yet...dc maybe) im likin it

ball bearing runs about $200 more, but well worth it. It runs cooler with less friction

i was searchin the internet and came across this...click here...is this a good deal? its a little more than i want to pay but i can wait a couple more months to get something around that price if its worth it...i have learned that the more you wait the beter things are...id rather wait and get somthing good than jump into it and buy a cheap kit...just searchin now tho...oh yea i started thinkin is the d15 much bigger in size than my d15? will the engine and a turbo/intercooler fit under my hood? or is modification of the bay in my future?

thats definately a full kit! Edelbrock is a well known company, but I havent seen too many on civics...

That comes with everything but the kitchen sink... haha. New fuel rail, maniofold, 4 more fuel injectors, gauges and an A pillar. Sounds good to me, that thing will scream! definately would pay more than 3 grand.
